This isn’t your regular love story. My Prince Charming didn’t ride up on a white horse and come and save me. In fact, he warned me to stay away from him. Of course, I didn’t listen. Why would I? There’s something so exciting about going after someone you shouldn’t have.
However, I never thought it would be like this. I’ve never felt so conflicted in my life. No one told me ...more

Let's start from the end! What an ending was that??? OMG!! It went out certainly with a boom! So Nancy is a girl who falls in love with her teacher.. So far so good.. She get's a little obsessed with him and follows Hunter -the teacher- to his new work place..

The academy he now works for, though it's a sex school.. And when Nancy receives her acceptance letter she grabs the opportunity to find her "true love" again, absolutely certain that he was the one that got her in the school. No someone mu ...more

I listened to the Audible version on my commute yesterday. To say that the narration was irritating was an understatement. It was so over the top that it really made the story unenjoyable. The heroine was so immature that as I was listening, I felt like I was trapped in a room with a giddy, 13 year-old valley girl.
I have enjoyed other serials by this author, but will not be continuing this one. There's a chance I might have enjoyed it more if I had read vs. listened, but I wasn't intrigued enou ...more

A very grabbing prologue
with a story that fell short. This first instalment of The Love Trials serial simply wasn’t to my taste and I even found it a bit disturbing.
I wanted something short to read. This was on a friend’s TBR and blurb seemed interesting so I gave it a go. What the blurb failed to mention is that this is about a clueless, barely legal, fresh out of high school, virgin who “falls in love” with Hunter, one of her teachers, and blindly follows him to ...more

You will love this new 3part serial from JS Cooper! We previously met Nancy in the Private a Club serial and in After the Ex Games.
Nancy is 18 years old and wanting to go after her high school teacher/crush who now works at the Lovers Academy. Nancy thinks Hunter accepted her application and can't wait to see what happens. Nancy hopes he will be her instructor. Once she is there, not only is he not her instructor, he doesn't even seem to remember her. Nancy's instructor turns out to be Jaxon, th ...more

This is a really tough call, while I did not love the story, it did suck me in and have me reading the whole serial.
Nancy is such a contradiction! Innocent virgin but super sassy and independent. It was hard getting a real bead on who she was and what was happening.
I guess it would have helped if I had read the other serials that are set in the same world. I was lost with all the extra plot intrigues.

Weird and disturbing. The last page made me curious though, but not enough to buy the rest of the series. The price for part 2 is okay, but I'm not willing to pay what part 3 costs.

Another great serial romance by J. S. Cooper
Were you addicted to The Ex Games serial and The Private Club serial by J. S. Cooper? I know I was. I just couldn’t get enough. As both series ended there were characters that I wanted to know more about. I wanted them to have their own story. I was curious on how their lives would turn out. One of those characters was Nancy.
Nancy turned out to be a complete surprise in The Private Club series. Her connections with the owners of the Priva ...more

This book is a HOT idea! It's all about, well suppose to be, learning how to seduce a man. That's what the Lovers Academy claims to be all about anyways...
Seriously, why don't we have such a place for real?
Nancy, a naive 18-year-old, has it bad for her former high school teacher Hunter. After learning that he works at the Lovers Academy, she applies there, in hopes to seduce Hunter. Instead, she is paired with Jaxon, the obnoxious dude from the train she had the misfortune of meeting while on he ...more

"Passion makes for the best kind of love."
Nancy has applied to the Love Academy because she believes herself to be in love with a former teacher of hers. She tells her family that she is going to go look at colleges but instead she travels alone with hope in her heart. She encounters a very handsome yet very mysterious gentleman on the train ride. She doesn't know why her body reacts the way it does when he stares at her and when she gets close to him. But she does not have time to worry about t ...more

The full review for "The Love Trials" can be found here.
The Love Trials will turn your head upside down with tiny informations zipping between one line and the other, and no information at all. The cliffhangers will be like a heart attack — each time — you didn't see coming, nor will you know what's next. Well, you will when grab the last book. Overall? It would’ve been more interesting if the main character, Nancy, weren’t so naïve nor a complete idiot when it came to men. Not everything is wha ...more

J.S. Cooper has done it again, I was engrossed from the minute I started this book. Nancy had found out recently that she had been accepted into the Lovers Academy, where her former high school teacher , with whom she has a crush on, is teaching. Nancy assumes Hunter is the person who accepted her application. On her train ride to the academy, she encounters a man which makes her uncomfortable, but soon she will be off the train, and thinks she will be in the arms of her former teacher. If you w

The Love Trials struck me as a textbook for a college class I once took in psychology. Then, as I began to read the pages, I saw how much wisdom this young writer had compiled for the reader's benefit. I recognized truths from my past and from the pasts of friends and acquaintances I have known over a longer lifetime than this young lady has yet to live.

First off I'll mention that I feel I can't fairly review this book. The main character is 18 years old and I think this would be a much better read for someone 18 - 20 something age range. The story-line is for a much younger based than myself and that was my only issue with this book.
Otherwise, Although this is a short story, you really get a lot of background info that helps you really get to know the characters and really helps build the plot. However, I did continue on and read the novellas ...more

I liked the premise of this story. Nancy applied and got accepted to a Love Academy because she thinks her soulmate is a guy named Hunter who works there and that they are meant to be together. Along the way, she meets Jaxon on the train and he winds up being her assigned teacher. Nancy is supposed to be this quiet and shy type of person although the Love Academy is meant to bring her inner seductress out. Already, Nancy is becoming more outspoken and less inhibited under Jaxon's instruction or
